Week 13: @

A tale of opposites as the 8-3 Raiders head to Chicago to take on the 3-8 Bears. The weather will NOT be a factor today as it is bright and sunny.

Oakland starts the day with a 14 play TD drive with McGloin hitting Jones in the endzone. The drive took 8:34 and the end result is a 7-0 Oakland lead. The 1st quarter ends with the Bears driving. Chicago is awful this year but this game their offense is doing well thus far. Early in the 2nd, Cutler carves up the Raider secondary and just like that it's 7-7.

After another long Oakland drive, Janikowski converts on a 22 yard FG. Chicago has the worst run D in the league, but not today. Thus far they have been tough to run against.

After holding Chicago to a 3 and out, Oakland starts with the ball near the 50. After a beauty of a pass by McGloin, Moore fumbles at the Chicago 40. Chicago has 49 seconds to move the ball. Cutler moves the ball and the drive ends with a 38 yard FG to tie the game 10-10. Cutler is on fire this game! (you know it isn't real...)

Overall the 1st half was very disappointing for the Raiders. The D was weak considering how little they were on the field. On offense MJD decided not to show up this half. The only highlight is McGloin going 14/15 1o5 yards and 1 TD.

After holding Chicago to a 3 and out on the first drive of the half, Oakland responds with another long drive and for the 2nd time today, McGloin hits Jones for the TD to make the score 17-10 Oakland.

Bad news for Oakland as late in the 3rd, MLB Nick Roach leaves the game with a dislocated hip. It is unclear how long he will be out for. More will be known after the game.

To start the 4th, Oakland has the ball. However, MJD just cannot move the ball and Chicago takes over. How is Chicago the worst run D in the league??? Nothing Oakland does run-wise works.

With 4:35 remaining, Chicago goes for it on 4th but cannot convert. Oakland begins at their own 36. The drive ends with a 40 yard FG. With 1:03 remaining, the Raiders lead 20-10. That should just about do it.

Big news, CB McGill suffered a broken collarbone in the last minute of play. Ouch!!!

With 20 seconds left, Hayden intercepts Cutler and the game is over. Raiders win 20-10. This game really as a great display of the two quarterbacks.

McGloin 22/24171 yards 2 TD
Cutler 20/26 227 yards 1 TD 1 INT.
